At one of our sites we have most outgoing ports blocked and everyone going through squid for web access. But it seems Windows autoupdate doesn't pick up the local users proxy settings so we ended up opening port 80 to some of the windows update servers. While searching around I found and option called custom-proxy-server but I don't see that setting in the man pages. Anyone have experience setting proxy server settings in dhcpd?
BITS(which is the autoupdater) should use the IE proxy settings. Are you using IE or another browser?

i don't know if this will help but it gets into some depth about how BITs works and ways to make it behave behind your proxy. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900935/ Dave wrote:> At one of our sites we have most outgoing ports blocked and everyone > going through squid for web access.
